Making Karajou Funny (Redux) (sticky)

Well, if he's going to keep on drawing them, it is our duty to at least make 'em funny. --PsyGremlinPrata! 17:50, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Well I never...

They seem to have attracted a genuine conservative judging by his blog. He seems to be operating a la Ed, bigging himself up here, or is he just a parodist who's put in extra work? Tweety^{let's have buttsecks} 14:05, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually, in his blog he used the word 'phenomenol'. Yep, conserva-loon Tweety^{let's have buttsecks} 14:07, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

... Phenomenon packaged into booze form? [[User:K61824|]][[User_talk:K61824|]] 14:17, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

I don't care if he's a conservative or what, but creating a mainspace article about your own personal blog as your 3rd mainspace edit? Ugh.. --GTac (talk) 14:23, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

He should fit right in Tweety^{let's have buttsecks} 14:26, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Note he claims to be a Native American. Wonder if he's read Roger's diatribes? ^yummy &  ^honey_{(or marmalade)} 14:37, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

He looks like Gary Busey. SJ ^Debaser 19:43, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Interesting how he wrote the article in the future tense. Made me think it was brand new, but it's been around a couple months at least. Quickly glancing through it I think I saw only one post with any comments. Why do is expect this is not an encyclopedia-worthy blog? Also, from what I read this guy doesn't seem far-right enough for CP. For instance he admitted that some of the opposition to healthcare reform could be attributed to Conservative Deceit. [Cue spooky music] DickTurpis (talk) 15:41, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

He also uses the word "majorly". The future tense is due to him quoting the header on his blog, I think. And also, glorious dreams of future fame? ħuman 02:13, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

He also seems not to have a mother, but he does have two daddies. ħuman 02:15, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

...and he also signs his article sections. He definitely has a future at CP. Finally, new blood! ħuman 02:16, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

TK told him to "Scott, please sign all posts."^img He's taken it a bit literally. ^yummy &  ^honey_{(or marmalade)} 02:20, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

I know. Typical parodist tactic is to not sign their first talk page posts, to disguise that they have any wiki-fu. I like the way he ran with it. TK forgot to say "talk page posts". Don't they have a template yet for that? And I always love the "W with a red line through it" references. ħuman 03:13, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

The guy's phonics schpiel is copied completely from WP too - perfect conservapedophile. DeltaStar_{Senior Sysop}^{Speciationspeed!} 14:30, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Trim to fit on one line

Andy really doesn't get how browsers, computers, displays or anything works does he?^{img yummy} &  ^honey_{(or marmalade)} 23:50, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, Toast (what a ridiculous name!) but your reply scrolled over one line so I was unable to read it. gODspeed –SuspectedReplicant retire me 23:52, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

It is one line for Andy, that is what is important. It is his wishes that count, TK said so. (Aside: If you want to see something bad go to NFL.com with the default Ubuntu fonts. The website must cost millions a year, but text gets chopped of the end of lines unless you are using the Windows defaults.) - π 01:56, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

As a side note, NFL.com doesn't look screwed up with a firefox/default fonts on Fedora 12, or that may be just me. [[User:K61824|]][[User_talk:K61824|]] 07:13, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Wow, he's using a monitor that small? Even my used flaptop renders the "pre" version on one line. But then again, as used flappies go, it's pretty shiny. ħuman 02:23, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

More correctly it's the pixel resolution that counts rather than the dimensions of the monitor. I reckon he must be using one of those Hollywood style monitors where everything is displayed in a font that you can read from across the street.  Lily ^{Inspirate me.} 03:53, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

True indeed. A friend of mine has a 42" or so monitor, and when he goes into command line mode each character is about 2" tall. ħuman 04:01, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

He is using too many words to describe the word "concise" in the CP sense. [[User:K61824|]][[User_talk:K61824|]] 07:13, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Maybe that's where his obsession with conciseness comes from. It's nothing about being able to express an idea in as little words as possible, it's just that he's using some ridiculous resolution and doesn't like scrolling down a talk page. X Stickman (talk) 15:39, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Remember the Lenski dialog? The lazy fucker can't be bothered to read. --Opcn (talk) 20:16, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Y'all remember when he uploaded a line drawing for one of his economics 'lectures' as a 6000x4000 jpeg? For an electrical engineer (and a programmer of course!) he really doesn't have a fucking clue. Good spot Toasty. DeltaStar_{Senior Sysop}^{Speciationspeed!} 16:49, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Mass vandalism wave

Check the CP recent changes. 'Nuff said Tweety^{let's have buttsecks} 18:22, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

This must be the most edits they've had in a day for a few months now. EDIT: are all the admins at church or something? EddyP (talk) 18:41, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

What percentage of their edit per article count is vandalism? --Opcn (talk) 18:49, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Figures its on a saturday when all the kids are home from school.Senator Harrison (talk) 19:17, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Figures it's on a day when I was in NYC all day. I missed creating an account and getting in on the reversions. Keklik 21:54, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

...and now it won't fit on one line...

...because Andy has put a massive image^img on the left side of the main page. No sense of what a good layout is. RationalwikiwikiUndergroundResistor (talk) 19:25, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

"No sense of what a good layout is." Fixed that for you. --Kels (talk) 20:25, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Also, ruthless censorship of controversial political cartoons. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 23:44, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Ken of all people fixed it. Five times. ħuman 12:03, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Ken logic

Back at his best, Christian channels on YouTube being shut down for copy-right violation is a blow against atheism.^img I will never cease to wonder what goes on inside his head. He must have some kind of special prism that reflects and refracts what he is reading so that it always comes out as "you are right Ken". - π 01:22, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

It seems to me that what Ken is really saying is this: Christian YouTube channels are being shut down because of copyright issues. The atheist channels are saying nothing about it. Therefore, they are the ones doing the censoring. QED. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 01:17, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I've never heard any atheist say "atheist" that much in a sentence. Holy (haha) balls. – Nick Heer 03:18, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

While they've always portrayed reality as a neverending string of conservative victories, "Belief in God is once again triumphant. Conservapedia has learned that Christian channels at YouTube are systematically being shut down at YouTube..." is probably the ballsiest move yet. Chapeau, Ken! Röstigraben (talk) 07:43, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

"The atheist community at YouTube demonstrates the utter futility and weakness of the atheism." Snigger.  Lily ^{Inspirate me.} 09:13, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Ken. Maybe you can strike a blow against the atheism by posting so many copyrighted Hitler pictures on Conservapedia that it gets shut down. In other news, I am impressed by the "TheCristianThinker"'s ability to spell "Christian." Thinky. --JeevesMkII ^{The gentleman's gentleman at the other site} 09:28, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Excuse me Jeeves, but I fixed your sentence.  Lily ^{Inspirate me.} 12:29, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I like how up until this point Ken has ignored numerous DMCA and votebotting instances against atheist YouTubers, but the second a couple of Christians get shutdown he pisses himself over it. Ken's just such an unusual bloke. Even in the Zeuglodon Blue files. SJ ^Debaser 12:27, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I like the ones where he posts a rambling screed, everybody ignores him and he goes on to post about 7 replies to his own mail. Very strange indeed. Still, it's good to see his writing style is as bad off-wiki as on. --PsyGremlinFale! 12:30, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

What is ironic is that I discovered about some of the Christian channels being falsely DMCAed through the atheist DPRJones channel when he called for people's support for those same Christians through mirroring their videos. Ken though likely ignored that as soon as he realized it would contradict his stereotyping of atheists. Of course there was a string of false DMCAs against atheist channels not too long ago, and then there was the story of the Christian Venomfangx, who got caught and had to make a public apology. --BMcP - Just an astronomy guy 17:16, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Exactly, dprjones, AronRa and Thunderf00t get their channels suspended all the time by the same mechanism. And they're the ones most actively campaigning against DMCA abuse. Fucks sake. ^narchist 17:21, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

What the fuck was this?

I can see why he took it down^img--Opcn (talk) 06:28, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

i can't even see where that is in the article, he might be the one with delusional "thinking". - π 06:33, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I can't understand what Conservative is saying. Someone translate it into English, please. Rodlen (talk) 06:35, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Just another red telephone message, move along.....Aceⁱ⁹ 06:40, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Best of all is this. Douglas is confused, as he should be, and it's Ken who wants him to elaborate? What is in that man's mind? 06:50, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

"If I am not mistaken, I believe I am the principle contributor of these articles" - Bloody right Ken. They've been locked away from ordinary editors pretty much from day 1.  Lily ^{Inspirate me.} 07:51, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Oooh me me me me me! What is in that man's mind? Ummm, pudding? Gravel? The foam bits from earbud headphones? Eraser tips, OCD pills, watermelon seeds, foam. 14:02, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

So, basically, Ken would be one of the few survivors of the upcoming zombie apocalypse. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Rodlen (talk) 18:42, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

So that's the "end of atheism/evolution on internet" he's always been foaming about, zombie apocalypse? Vulpius (talk) 19:06, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, there wouldn't be the internet, people would pray for their lives, and the dead have problems evolving, so... Rodlen (talk) 19:08, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I tip my hat

to DouglasA. The scale on which he is destroying articles is unlike that of any parodist seen before; and he's getting away with it too. Truly he is among the masters. EddyP (talk) 15:20, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

He is quite skillful, but it's not as hard as it used to be because almost nothing is going on at CP these days. Plus, right now it's Sunday morning EST, so Andy and most of his gang are probably at church. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 15:23, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Unless I'm missing something, it looks like he's just deleting articles that aren't on par with conservapedia's mission. And he just translated a bible verse. Senator Harrison (talk) 15:52, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Most of those articles were already marked for deletion. They were still up because Conservapedians are lazy by nature - I've seen stuff marked for "speedy deletion" still up months later. Yeah, it's amusing that DouglasA deleted almost 150 articles in a week, but it was all stuff that CP wanted deleted.

I do find it interesting how selective they're being with the anime articles. Only a few of them were marked for deletion, ironically the more widely-known series. I'm honestly surprised that they didn't just nuke the whole section after Jessica got the boot. Colonel of Squirrels^{白山羊不山羊。商讨。} 16:07, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

My favorite one: cp:HeadOn. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 16:10, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I thought that CP's mission was to become a general encyclopaedia and destroy WP utterly. EddyP (talk) 16:15, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

It is, but I seem to remember Andy saying that he didn't want all the pop-culture and "gossip" that takes up such a sizable fraction of WP's main space. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 16:32, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

As a large percentage of net searches will be for trivia, they'll miss out on a lot of traffic. What was that revolting Canadian dish that we were number one for, began with "P" if I remember right? I believe it brought us several new members. ^yummy &  ^honey_{(or marmalade)} 16:55, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Just when I thought Andy couldn't get any more blind Sleuth (talk) 17:18, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Conservapedia's law dictates that people will stop having fun as time goes on. --Opcn (talk) 17:20, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Pretty sure the dish was donair sauce. Do we have an article on poutine at all? --Kels (talk) 17:32, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

My mistake, Kels, it was Donair sauce. Fun:PoutineRecipe:Donair sauce ^yummy &  ^honey_{(or marmalade)} 17:35, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

No offense, Canadians, but Poutine looks vile. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 17:37, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

It's actually very tasty if done right. Personally, I prefer thicker cut fries, they don't get soggy that way. --Kels (talk) 18:50, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I like poutine. Also, that is definitely a much better Conservapedia's Law, Opcn. Rodlen (talk) 17:42, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

We just have to hope that Andy's hubris will give birth to another pet project. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 17:43, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

UD)Fun = Hollywood values; Fun = sex; Fun = Drugs; Fun = Not doing what your elders & betters tell you; Fun = Unchristian; Fun = Liberal; Fun = " I don't have fun, why should you"; etc etc etc. Ergo Fun =/= Conservapedian. ^yummy &  ^honey_{(or marmalade)} 17:53, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Ken's Sense Of Humour

This car^img is apparently comedic to Ken. I don't understand. At all. Rodlen (talk) 20:08, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

And now he links to Hitwin. That, I don't find as surprising. Rodlen (talk) 20:10, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Methinks that "Gishmobile" is not funny in the way intended by Ken. I like the "God bless america" thing on the front bumper. Perhaps the driver is hoping that God will be crossing the road in front of them and think "Wow, that's a great idea! I'll bless America!"-^{Ask me about your mother} 20:13, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

(EC)I think the picture's funny, but probably for different reasons to Ken. The yank (obvious due to his back to front baseball cap) is shouting and pointing at a car which says, "Evolution? The Fossils Say No!" while the front bumper has the Stars and Stripes with a bald eagle and the slogan "God Bless America!" It's a kinda "YEAH! WE DON'T NEED NO DAMN SCIENCE! USA! NUMBER ONE!!" which highlights the idiocy of the American right-wing. (No offence there, America.) SJ ^Debaser 20:17, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Ooh, we now have Stalwin too! Rodlen (talk) 20:19, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

He thinks it's funny because it is his firm belief that fossils say the earth is 6,000 years old or whatever. And they say no. And that's funny to the boy man. rational ghey (talk) 20:22, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

[1]^img Here is the actual car if you don't want to search user:Conservative's page for ten minutes. Mei (talk) 20:34, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Wow I Just noticed the "evolution is a fairy tale for grown-ups." .. WTF?! rational ghey (talk) 20:42, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I just noticed Ken's page, and after a small nap to regain my senses, I had a bit of a laugh. He has a link to the classic Abbott and Costello routine about baseball. He has it named "Who is on first?" Small and stupid, I know, but still funny. SirChuckB^{That is all} 23:47, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I love how Ken calls himself "athiesm" on Flickr. Rodlen (talk) 00:55, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Abortion and Hitler

Obvious parody is lame. -- Nx / talk 20:25, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I know, but it remains there, as with the Obama/Osama controversy. I wrote that WIGO (I know, I have an amazing passion for creativity) and I'm not expecting much. SJ ^Debaser 20:27, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Just remember that the admins requested it in their anti-abortion project. Rodlen (talk) 20:30, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I was gonna say that the article was a good thing to WIGO but the WIGO is lame, but you acknowledged that already. Good for you, SJ. Senator Harrison (talk) 20:38, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Is it obvious parody? It was Ken himself who requested such an article. DeltaStar_{Senior Sysop}^{Speciationspeed!} 21:16, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

True, but both editors who worked on that article reek of parodist. Of course, I admit that it's sometimes hard to tell. Colonel of Squirrels^{白山羊不山羊。商讨。} 21:18, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

On a related note, I have a hard time understanding Ken's relationship with parody. Sometimes it looks like he recognizes parody for what it is, but then he'll go on to expand on the parody and take it seriously. Is he just that out of touch? (That's a rhetorical question, by the way.) Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 21:28, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

One more thing: I've been ignoring CP's latest project, so I didn't notice this until today, but Ken is alleging that they'll be vetting all the new articles. It's like they knew that they were inviting parodists to the party and decided to draw a line in the sand. My guess is that it won't matter. Ken's going to half-ass this like he does everything else, and they'll never find all the vandalism. Colonel of Squirrels^{白山羊不山羊。商讨。} 21:36, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Right, they'll be vetting all the new articles. Vetting so much so that Andy Schlafly gives skipcaptcha to the person who wrote "Abortion doctors are doctors that carry out abortions." Same high attention to detail and respect for quality that we've become used to. 21:45, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

This^img made me laugh. Nice new crop of parodists over there. 21:32, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Though that is parody, I've heard that argument used seriously on a number of occasions, including by my own father. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 21:49, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

'What do liberals that oppose wiretapping have to hide from the government?' -> Their dignity. Mei (talk) 21:51, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Conservative reply: "But the government doesn't care about people's personal information, so they won't do anything with it unless it constitutes a security risk" (actual quote from a conservative friend of mine). Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 21:54, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

IT BURNS >__________________< Mei (talk) 21:56, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

My favorite part of that wiretap article is definitely the one source: it involves the arrest of police who did drugs, through the use of a wiretap. To justify the entire article. Rodlen (talk) 23:02, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Update Ken gives it his blessing^img--Opcn (talk) 04:33, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

It seems that this has suddenly become Conservative's favorite article on the wiki, seeing how he restored it post-deletion for a reason that isn't real, and has turned it into a section of the main Abortion article, and has edited the Abortion & Hitler article many times. Whoa. Rodlen (talk) 02:07, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Poe's paradox

An astonishing fact that I've discovered recently is that even parody by a known parodist can have a nauseating effect. Just Take JacobB for example, we all know that he is a parodist, same thing with DouglasA_dams, yet when JacobB stole the work of another editor people were legitimately upset about it. I reread Andy's letter to PNAS and was pissed off at it, but it didn't nullify any of my anger knowing the DinsdaleP was permabanned when he got fed up with parody and started simply trolling. I'm having a hard time sussing out whether it is just another mental disconnect that causes me to enjoy and revile these people, or if it is because, as poe's law dictates, parody is by in large the same to read as fundamentalism. I remember back in 2003 thinking that fox news was ridiculous and feeling like most of america agreed with me, yet since then the pendulum has swung and most (53%?) of America will say with a straight face that Fox news if fair and balanced. I can't help but worry that an uncareful but effective parodist might in the end do more harm than good. :/ Thoughts? --Opcn (talk) 00:05, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Parodists are boring on CP. We want pure, unadulterated Andy insights! ħuman 00:13, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I agree, but in order to make these insights from Andy blossom, it needs a bit of parodist pollen to stimulate it. Norseman^{Cyser Melomel} 13:56, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm 100% with Human. That said, do people really think I was a parodist/troll when I was on CP? If anything, I was trying to speak for the other side (i.e. reasonable people) on issues where I felt something needed to be said, but I'd never supported or advocated vandalism or parody because they're boring, unimaginative and lame. Even master parodists like Bugler can only hope to point out the validity of Poe's Law, and since that's long been established what's the point of any more? In the end, the best reason TK could scrape up for permabanning me and silencing my consistent display of reality's known liberal bias was over my membership here, and that's a coward's excuse. --SpinyNorman (talk) 01:24, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Fancy a coward who debates poorly relying on a crummy and contrived excuse to block you. No, I don't think you were a parodist or troll at all. There are 2 brands of parody that I detest and you didn't do either. I hate this current course of terrorizing users and parroting TK's smug but substanceless patter and Andy's extremely unique worldview (nobody and I mean nobody could possibly agree with Andy on the wackier stuff he repeats, but here we have guys like JacobB putting banners chilling discussion on the relativity page). I guess you could cram Bugler into that category. He was odious. Then there's the stupid obvious stuff like that clown's wiretap and abortion articles we were discussing earlier. Do you feel like you fit anywhere on these two extremes? I don't. That turned into a big back-pat. Cheers. 02:55, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Conservative Bible Project

I'm amazed. Conservapedia has almost finished the New Testament in their Conservative Bible Project. This is not a good sign. Rodlen (talk) 00:33, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

It's not? X Stickman (talk) 01:02, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

It's a great sign. The systematic removal of compassion from the Bible is very funny.--^talk 01:34, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm looking forward to being able to rebut CP arguments using their own bible. – Nick Heer 02:08, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm with AD. it's a great sign. I'm waiting with baited breath to announce this grand achievement. Tetronian ^{you're clueless} 02:38, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm intrigued, just what are you baiting your breath with?  Lily ^{Inspirate me.} 07:39, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I look forward to someone rebutting Andy with Ephesians 4:29. 31 and 32 aren't bad either. --Shagie (talk) 04:56, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I wont say where, but I will mention that somewhere in the CBP I did backronym Colbert in and it is still standing. --Opcn (talk) 05:29, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I added "singes" plus "e". But I won't say where. ħuman 08:09, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, but what you don't know is that you were inspired by the holy spirit to do those things. You're working for Jesus on Satan's dime, suckers. ;) --JeevesMkII ^{The gentleman's gentleman at the other site} 12:08, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I love the blitz they did. They wanted to grind it all for easter... Talk about meticulous care. I guess when god(tm) speaks in your head, you must hurry to type every single word she inspires you ... Good job, nut jobs! Alain (talk) 23:42, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Standby for a Crap Joke from DeltaStar communications

Andrew Schlafly in the Princeton Alumni Weekly

I finally had time to catch up on recent issues of the Princeton Alumni Weekly magazine, and I was astonished to find an interview with our favorite conservative in the February 24 issue. And the April 7 issue has responses from fellow graduates: "No more of Mr. Schlafly’s know-nothing brand of conservatism!" [4] "God did not bring a Bible into existence to primarily turn Americans or anyone into political conservatives." [5] "I find his replies such total nonsense that I have to ask: Is this a leg pull?"

I was trying to make the point that Assfly is saying people are stupid, but for proof only offers up unsupported footnotes, hence he's the stupid one (ha ha).
